Has anyone tried a custom kernel on PAC 23.0.0 or the XPOSED FRAMEWORK?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] shut_down:
Custom kernel like CoCore? It will not work with CМ based system.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] anantttt:
Did you flash that firmware????
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] lotus_flower:
battery life

I just want to say that I find the combo that works for me,and I'm more than satisfied with it.internet is always on,wlan or data for the record.I don't play games,but I stream tv shows and watch youtube alot,an I had no problems.it's italian XXLQG,governor is smartassv2,scheduler is sio.I had problems and freezes with cocaffes 6.8 and 7.0,and found out that 6.2 works best for me.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] ADR USR:
Really 6.8 / 7.0 introduces freezes (rare, unexpected and irritants). looking very stock kernel. With stock, spent days without any bug. suddenly freeze. 6.2 is a little better in this aspect.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] sam_code4u:
New test cocore kernel seems to be good. Give it a shot and post your feedback to help make it better.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] fbs:
yes.. it has a high "changelist" number.. but it temporary "broke" my baseband.. had to remove it when I noticed it.. :P
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] anantttt:
Chinese and hongkong firmwares will not work on our phones.

Your binary count must also have increased by 2. Dont flash them.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Sami Kabir:
I just don't get it... why did they release firmwares that bricks or harms the phone upon flashing it... don't they test it or something before releasing it?! :p
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] anantttt:
Well i don't know about that.

But one good thing about the firmware is if you deodex just /system/app and /system/framework and push it to your current firmware, then you can have a few extra features like blocking mode etc. I just tried it.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Sami Kabir:
That's great... It would it better if someone could just upload the System Apps and Framework files... :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] anantttt:
You can do it by yourself. I don't think anybody would do that.

I can deodex it but I am in a remote area right now, and Internet connectivity sucks.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Sami Kabir:
Hmm.. Ok, if I get enough time then I might do it :)

Anyways, other than Blocking Mode, did you notice any other (added) features, apps (not bloatware :p) or anything else?

And since you already have the Chinese firmware with you, did you ever compare it with other (working) firmwares to findout why its size differs by this much MBs..? ;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] anantttt:
I am back to harsh jelly, but in the hongkong firmware there was a lot of boatware. But i did notice driving mode and blocking mode.

Blocking mode worked perfectly. I had for a short period and then restored my backup. Didn't notice anything else.

I just did it out of curiosity.

Is ublph the best ROM at the moment???

LQE from Greece, is it good???
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] T.M.:
I have heard that the last from Italy is the best, but i don't know, i haven't test all the new firmwares.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Shiningb:
I'm planning to try ublph paraguai and see if its good as on the s3 mini!

Since I tried lpd, it's good, fast, but it has ram problems (only 624mb??, stuttering while browsing internet and hearing music, and incompatibility with harsh jelly and most of s4 mods by amintv)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] T.M.:
The last from Italy is LQG, not LPD.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Shiningb:
No, I was talking about what I experienced on LPD firmware (Brazil, Tim)

Now, I tested lqg and ROM is decent but it has stuttering while playing videos

I want a firmware that I can relax, and maintain the official message on about phone, and receiving OTA updates :D

I use from June 24 ITV LQG firmware firmware 4.1.2 with root permissions and CoCore kernel 6.8 and the phone goes perfectly ...

I also tried the kernel CoCore 7.2 and 7.6 but the system began to have continuous blocks and freeze, then I went back to CoCore 6.8, and the phone and returned a wonder ...

no blocking or jamming, no lag, no freeze ... perfect ...

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] T.M.:
I'm using the ITV LQG now and it's very disapointing, a lot of lags in contacts and a very fast battery drain, other thing it's the volume is too low when i play music :(

Someone have better experience with other firmware without a custom kernel?

PS: I have made the wipes to data/factory reset and cache.

Salutes!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Sami Kabir:
Try the UBLPH firmware... I used it for over a week without any mods and without any Custom kernel.... Its smooth (but even smoother with CoCore E kernels), almost lag free and gives a pretty decent battery life... the only disadvantage is that it has some extra bloatware and modifications from Claro Argentina.. but you can easily remove them after you root your phone... :good:

Give it a try mate... :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] T.M.:
There is a UBLPH with ARO Code and other that says in the sammobile page that is from claro, i'll try the ARO in first place :P

Salutes!

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

How you remove the bloatware of the firmware? and what do you remove XD

Thanks in advance men!

SaluteS!!!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Sami Kabir:
Bloatware are apps that are preinstalled in a ROM or a firmware and these are the apps which one will probably never use... So it depends on who the user is.. Simply delete the apps which you don't use...

To remove them, Root your phone first then install NoBloat app.. it will allow you to delete those apps BUT BEWARE! Don't delete any IMPORTANT SYSTEM APPS :good:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] T.M.:
Thanks man!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Shiningb:
If you do not like the boot animation from claro

Then you can take the qmg from retail stock fw (lqg)

And after rooting, move to system/media, set the right permissions, then reboot and behold the Sammy's original boot

I9070 latest official (samsung) firmware

From "http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9070" I found that the latest firmware for this device with the highest changelist ( 1305051 ) is I9070ZSMG2

But the real question is does it signify anything? Is it wise to flash the device with the firmware which has the most recent Build Date and highest Changelist?

so pls suggest me which regions latest firmware is safe to flash on device in India??

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Nishad1982:
No stock ROM (Jelly Bean) is smooth by default. You can flash your regional firmware and then remove the bloatware from the system. Now we have an app for that here by P.Castro. Flash CoCore Kernel. Find it here

Or,

You can always flash Custom ROMs - like Harsh Jelly/Light JB with CoCore Kernel and of course CM10.1
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Utkarsh-ezzo:
thanks for your kind rply,

but i knew that,

i just wanted to know which firmware other than inu is most stable and safe to flash on inu device
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Nishad1982:
You will never know unless you try.

My suggestion would be I9070XXLQE.

I9070JVBMD1 (Pakistan/Afghanistan/UAE) is also a very stable ROM. I am on it.

But before flashing any ROM other than your country it is always safe to have a backup of your IMEI. How to do it is here
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] ADR USR:
About stability: Any latest firmware with Cocore . I use 6.2.

Note : I don't use the stock camera app. is unstable in any firmware.

About battery draining:

After 14 months of use ...

Maximum Screen ON time: 180 minutes

Discharge: 100% to 20/15%

I bought a new battery from Samsung.

Problem solved. JB has never been so efficient in battery.

Screen ON time: 240 minutes

discharge: 95% to 50/40%

avoid full charges. (From 15/20% to 100%. etc), I did it.

Now I do partial charge (40 to 90% etc). battery will probably be more efficient than 14 months of use.

other people had problems with youtube app. my last post i show you the link - were solved with new kernel (i know you would use stock kernel).

if you want to play flash in your browser, you have to install adobe_flash.apk.

you´ll find if you use google: jelly bean + flash player :good:

Hello everyone!

This is probably a dumb question but i didn't find anything in this forum.

Basically my question is: is possible to say which is the best firmware for our phone?

If so, which is?

Actually i have xxlpz, is there something better?

If no one can say which i better, is a good rules to update to the latest firmware released?

The country is important or the latest firmware (without looking the country) is always the best?

Thanks
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] arffrhn:
1. There are many posts of which of these firmwares are the best. Some of the recommendations are xxlqg, xxlqe, ddulp8, xxlqb.

2. The latest firmwares are always shown in sammobile.com which is the main source of all samsung's firmwares. Even the firmwares mirrored in this forum comes from sammobile. So you should check there first.

3. Well you can try the latest one but they are mostly the same though. However, xxlpz is actually a bit old and outdated compared to xxlqg and others which some claimed to have a few things updated and fixed which makes it better than xxlpz/xxlpy.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] frank_android:

I will update to I9070XXLQG_I9070ITVLQ3_ITV which is the latest.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] frank_android:
Another silly question: is it possible to flash stock firmware / ROM with CWM?

Or Odin is always necessary with firmware?

Maybe Odin is necessary only when the phone is not rooted?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Razvan:
No is not possible to flash stock firmware with CWM.

Only flashable zips of deodexed stock firmware.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] frank_android:

If i update the firmware with Odin CWM will remain or i have to re root and re install it?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] mathei:
